DESTINY 2 Unveils Hoverboards Tomorrow

Mar 04, 2024 10:03 AM

Destiny 2, the beloved MMO shooter from Bungie, is set to receive a fresh update that brings hoverboards, termed 'Skimmers', into the game. These futuristic vehicles will be available to all players as a free edition in the upcoming Guardian Games All-Stars event. An additional Skimmer design, inspired by a popular Destiny weapon, will be available for purchase in the Eververse shop.

Players can unlock their free Skimmer, named the Allstar Vector, by completing the Drop In mission. The new hoverboards can be selected and used to glide around the game's world, adding a new layer to the traversal options in Destiny 2. Bungie's continuous updates show a commitment to responding to fan requests; earlier updates included a character editor. Fans are also eagerly awaiting the release of Destiny 2's upcoming expansion, The Final Shape, set for release on June 4th. This development adds to the anticipation around the evolving landscape of the Destiny universe.

With new gameplay mechanics, Destiny 2 continues to maintain its position as a top-tier title in the action MMO space, striving to keep its community engaged with fresh, free content, while also providing optional premium items for purchase, balancing the game's accessibility with its monetization strategies.

Destiny 2 has come a long way since its release in 2017. Developed by Bungie, the game entered the scene as a follow-up to the original Destiny, bringing with it expansive lore, a variety of PVE and PVP activities, and a business model that has shifted over the years to include seasonal content updates, expansions, and an in-game store. The Guardian Games event is an annual in-game competition where players represent their Guardian class and compete for glory and unique rewards. Adding hoverboards to the mix aligns with Bungie's commitment to evolving player experiences and keeping the community curious about what's next in the universe of Destiny 2.
